OLC 6410 Digital Literacy and Civic Leadership

3 Hours

Digital Literacy and Civic Leadership is a necessary experience for 21st century Thought Leaders. Understanding the revolutionary role of the Internet and how leaders must leverage the network to reach, build and connect with communities is imperative. Acknowledging a civic responsibility to promote democracy, access and freedom is equally important. Most people access the international online platform with no regard for what or how the tools or technology work let alone any comprehension of technical terms. Not since Gutenberg’s printing press has any medium had such a ubiquitous impact on communication, leadership and livelihoods. This course will bridge the intellectual gap between digital literacy, civility and leadership as off and online lives continue to blur in real time in cyberspace.
